| Info | Aissa Catherine Heath was born and raised in Union County. She was raised by her mom and grew up in a working-class home, where working hard while fighting for others was a key value instilled in her from an early age. Aissa’s been working since she was 16 years old, doing everything from working as a maintenance worker at a senior citizen building, to working in retail, to working as a programmer for a social research non-profit.
Aissa went to Union County College and then Rutgers University-Newark, where she received her degree in Economics, with a minor in Physics. She spent a lot of her time in college taking math and computer science classes, allowing her to switch into a data science career. When she isn’t using her technical skills to help support community organizing efforts, she is often working on mutual aid and political education events.
Aissa doesn’t look or act like your typical politician and has a no-nonsense attitude about doing what’s right. She’s not supported by millionaires and has no interest in hoarding power. That’s exactly why when asked to run, she decided to take up the challenge of fighting against corrupt politicians. We need someone who doesn’t sell out for personal gain. We need someone who knows what it’s like to work over 40 hours a week just trying to get by. We can’t wait for minor incremental change; we need someone to make a stand today.
Our political machine is just that; politicians who turn the wheels of the corruption and nepotism that has failed Union County. Union County doesn’t just need people who look like us, we need people who act like us, who live like us, who care like us. That's why Aissa is stepping up to run for Assembly here in LD20.
